I'm not sure about all the tests. The ones I remember getting were CBC's and AFT's ? LFT's? Liver function tests anyway. You'd think I would remember having worked in a lab before and getting tested so often last pregnancy! They normally shouldn't take till Friday unless they have to send them out to another lab. Mine always came back within hours (and I lived in Juneau, AK).

I sent an email to my Nurse today letting her know of all the things that have happened- and how I have had a headache everyday for the past week or longer. I will test my urine again when I get home today and see how it is.

I hate feeling like this.

On the floater and star thing- I know that was out of the ordinary and it's happened twice in the past week.

Mine has gone from negative to +1 this pregnancy but my 24 hour came back at 182. So, I'm sure it was all fluid intake related. The +1 was an early morning appointment and I had only drank one cup of milk with breakfast before leaving home and bet that is what skewed the results. I was glad to get a 24 hr urine anyway in case the time comes that we need a baseline. So, yes the dipsticks can go back and forth and are not very reliable as to true protein values because of the fluid variable.
